I don't know if you're at all open to this, but an acupuncturist helped me a lot. Very different approach than what you've tried, but meds don't work for everyone. Acupuncture does not work for everyone either, but it works with some people who don't respond to meds (I read a reasearch article on this - will try to find the reference again if you want, although I moved to another country and it might be in a box in the basement somewhere, so I am not sure I can find it. Will try.).I realize I am not answering your question, but since you mentionned the DC area, I immediately thought of my experience there.
DC area:
Greta McVey, Acupuncturist
She has a private practice and she also practices at the University of Maryland (on the DC metro line). Her # at UMd: 301-314-8137. Her e-mail address: mcvey@health.umd.edu. I don't have her private practice info, but that's where you'd have to go anyway.If you try this it would not be a one time thing of course, but it would not hurt to try. Perhaps she can recommend someone in NC too. She came to acupuncture herself b/c she cured her depression with it and decided to change career afterwards. She was a life savior for me. A bit esoteric but not overboard, she respects your limits / beliefs. I am very rational myself (I do a lot of math for my job), but treatments which no one can explain how they work helped me greatly. I took a chance telling myself it could not hurt anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised.
